The parasites invade the red blood cells. They can also invade the walls of the blood vessels as well as the liver.
No the parasites have no cilia.
No, they do not! The evidence shows that malaria parasites that infect lizards have two kinds of ribosomes and malaria parasites that infect lizards have only one.

Human and animals
Anopheles mosquito carries the parasite of malaria. When they bite human beings these parasites enter into their body cause malaria.
A person gets malaria from the bite of an infected female mosquito. The mosquito bite injects young forms of the malaria parasite into the person's blood. The parasites travel through the person's bloodstream to the liver, where they grow to their next stage of development. In 6 to 9 days, the parasites leave the liver and enter the bloodstream again. They invade the red blood cells, finish growing, and begin to multiply quickly. The number of parasites increases until the red blood cells burst, releasing thousands of parasites into the person's bloodstream. The parasites attack other red blood cells, and the cycle of infection continues, causing the common signs and symptoms of malaria. When a non-infected mosquito bites an infected person, the mosquito sucks up parasites from the person's blood. The mosquito is then infected with the malaria parasites. The parasites go through several stages of growth in the mosquito. When the mosquito bites someone else, that person will become infected with malaria parasites, and the cycle will begin again. Malaria parasites can also be transmitted by transfusion of blood from an infected person or by the use of needles or syringes contaminated with the blood of an infected person.
Malaria parasites become resistant to drugs used to treat them. Also the mosquitoes which carry the parasites also become resistant to insecticide drugs which are used to kill them. This process is occurring in malaria hotspots worldwide.
The parasites enter the body by way of a cut or via the eyes or mouth
There are 4 different parasites that cause malaria, but all of them are in the Plasmodium family.Plasmodium falciparumPlasmodium vivaxPlasmodium ovalePlasmodium malariaeEach one of them causes malaria, but the symptoms are slightly different.
Malaria is caused by any one of four species of one-celled parasites, called Plasmodium. The parasite is spread to people by the female Anopheles mosquito, which feeds on human blood. Although four species of malaria parasites can infect humans and cause illness, only malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum is potentially life-threatening.
yes, it does. the parasites actually get in there it sounds like, and can kill liver cells. Yes. That is the main focus on Malaria. When the parasites are injected into the bloodstream by the Anopheles mosquitos the pathogens use the blood stream to flow straight to the liver. This is where the parasites will begin to attack the red blood cells. The liver cells more or less go with it.
